I have trouble keeping the suction working. They will work for several months and then....off the wreaths come! Is there a secret to keeping these stable and stuck to the outdoor double entry doors?

Make sure you clean the area you are applying the suction cups to with rubbing alcohol. Then apply a small amount of olive oil to the cups. They should stick forever!

I live in Santa Barbara, CA, where it gets warm, and they have always stayed on. When we go to Simi Valley or San Diego, on super hot days, they come off. But I have been able to wedge them in the window sealing, and they seem to stay. I would say if you can, buy them from BuyBuy Baby or a local baby store and try them out since they aren't that expensive. Then if it doesn't work for you, in AZ, return them. But don't get the Munchkin pull down ones. they don't work on all windows, and they fall off even in Santa Barbara weather.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

Make sure window is clean for suction cups to stay put. Mine held on very well until a squirrell sat on and squeezed into it one too many times. It didn't break though. Just clean the surface before sticking it on.

mine went under some and got stuck on some, I have about 3 diff. types of gutters on my house and the last addition I put on the installers (I think) put spikes too low or at a downward angle to the house and it gets stuck on about every other one of them. I just gave up this year and bought leaf guards. ouch!

Make sure the window is clean. Then put a tiny amount of moisture on the suction cup and push onto window. My has stayed up for several months. I had baby hummers there yesterday!!

In my opinion, I think it could work. That is a very clever idea! Since they are peel and stick, removing them shouldn't be too bad. Mine have stayed on the floor pretty well without coming up, but I also haven't tried pulling them up since I want them to stay. Once you get one up, getting the rest should be easy. Good luck, hope it works out!

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

Push the round suction part in all the way with your thumbs before you attach it to the tile, mine stays for a very long time, maybe every 2 month or so you have to redo the suction. Hope it works for you! make sure the tile is clean and dry.

I have found that the first time it is hard to get them to stay, try running them thru the dishwasher on the to rack, and see it if it easier. I was super frustrated with them trying to use them the first coupe of times. But they seem to get better after a couple of uses. Hope this helps u.

I use these on my exterior french doors (open to the outside onto a deck) and have had NO problem with them. I have tremendous winds and the doors have never moved. Now, you might have to elevate the Wedge-It by putting something underneath it if the space between the floor & bottom of the door is large. Fortunately I did not have that problem . I just love these because they are so easy to store, insert & remove being that they are small. They take up NO room! Hope this helps.

Mine did the same just work with them. Try going in at different angles and wiggle them. They will eventually

I've had mine up in the the tub for months now and they have never come down. As long as it is on a flat, not curved, surface you should be fine. Very strong suction

I can certainly tell you that the suction is maintained in the rain. I live in a temperate climate and have not had a problem. The instructions do suggest wetting the surface of the vehicle prior to attaching the suction cups. From a theoretic standpoint I would be concerned about attaching the suction and then experiencing a rapid and dramatic change in temperature. However if the suction is starting to diminish the indicator on the pump will start to show and it can be pumped again to increase the vacuum.

Thanks for your response. Do they go on quite easily? I find the ones that I am currently using will work for about 2 cm and then stop.

I have not installed mine yet because we had so much snow I couldn't get to the window. I purchased the sheet to put on the window first so you can see everything but that can't see you moving around. I don't know about the suction cups and how long they last. I will just have to put the box up and then see how it goes. Don't know how to replace them either. Time will tell I guess. Most suction cups should last longer than a year I would think. Hope this helps.

I installed these just before the ground froze for winter. They took a little pressure to push in and seemed to back out slightly over the winter with the freeze/thaw cycle. To be honest, I'm nervous about removing my sand bags now that it's spring and the soil is loose. I'm not sure I trust them to hold. I bought two sets and have a 15' trampoline - two on every other leg.
